Ask about automatic renaming and organizing movies with FileBot?

Post by tacticmolt »

Hello everyone!

I just started using FileBot to organize and rename movie files in my personal library. I would like to ask if FileBot supports automatic uploading of metadata such as posters, movie descriptions or subtitles? Also, is there a way to automate the entire process of renaming and moving files when a new movie is added? I would love to receive guidance from those with experience.
Thank you very much!

1.
FileBot can fetch artwork, generate nfo files, etc. You can enable each Post-Processing Feature individually.


2.
Presets can mostly automate the process, but you'll have to launch FileBot and press a keyboard shortcut at the very least. However, if you don't mind learning a few command-line skills then complete automation is possible as well. FileBot Command-line Interface and How do I monitor a folder and call filebot on newly added files? can serve as a starting point.
